Living in the grace of faith

 

By: Mrs.Marciana Balagsa of Lomonoy

I am Mrs.Marciana Balagsa of Lomonoy, Lila, Bohol . I want to praise the name of Jesus for His name is our mighty protection, the source of strength, hope and life. I want to proclaim that God is a great healer and give Him thanks for He calls my whole family to be one of His chosen people.

July 2005, my daughter who is 3 yrs old at that time, suffered form allergies. There were red spots all over her body associated with inflammation. One night, she can't sleep and she woke us up. She told us to pray. She said “papa, mama please raise your hands and repeat after me. In Jesus name, I will be healed!” She cried and requested us to pray over her like her Ate Gemma's prayer. I explained to her that we don't know the prayer and we will wait until morning comes to ask prayer support from her Ate Gemma. She went back to sleep. That night, I was touched and my heart broke upon hearing my child's request for prayer. I never attended the prayer meetings and I don't know how to do it. My child always asks me to join the prayer meetings and I don't know how to do it. My child kept on asking me to join the prayer but I always ignore her for I'm too busy at home. I remember before when the healing ministry from Tagbilaran came in our place, my child Melody will tell me “Mama, Jesus is in Ate Gemma's house. Let's go there and join the prayer.” I will simply reply to her that we are not part of their group. So by the time that the prayer meeting in our place became so active, daily prayer meeting began. My child will always attend together with my mother in law that is why she learned songs of praises, casting out and praying to Jesus. She received the gist of faith.

The following day, at 5:30 am , she woke up and forced me to go to her Ate Gemma's house for prayer support. Gemma went to our house and we prayed together with my whole family. At that time, my father in law is suffering from tonsillitis. He put some leaves around his neck as medication. We encouraged him to join the prayer and remove the leaves on her neck. He followed and accepted the prayer. Right after the prayer, we experienced miracle and it was amazing, my child was healed. The red spots were gone. My father in law, who can't speak because of tonsilitis was also healed. My husband and I witnessed the miraculous deeds of Jesus. We feel the great Love of Jesus! Now, we are serving the Lord and we all received the gift of faith. Thanks to Jesus for using my 3-year-old daughter as angel for us to be united in prayer and in faith. Thank you also to Sunday Post for giving us the opportunity to share this good news through this column. To God be the Glory! AMEN!
